China is looking for good places to deploy capital.
In July, Morgan Stanley issued their first Panda Bond.

Imagine the massive value that can be unlocked when Global South industrialists can access capital at 2% pa.
Rates historically only open to European giants with phenomenal credit rating.

⚡A media-silent Russian advance through Pokrovsk has been occurring for the past 10 days. Russian forces have reached the city centre.

Pokrovsk was never important and didn't mean anything to anyone in Ukraine from time immemorial - so why should the media bother?

LordAdam16:
Say what you will about the Hegemony, but they are relentless.

They'll take a loss in stride, go back to the drawing board, and return with a vengeance.
I understand why the Axis is playing defense. But at some point, the bloc would have to become aggressive and shift to the offense.

I hope the Axis uses this gift from Washington judiciously.
If Maduro can hold out, the Axis should overtly step up their support. Deploy warships, expand munition plants, flood the terrain with ADs and radars. Everything the West has done in Ukraine should be done in Venezuela and then some.

-Lord

Real question is: would they?
They've been awfully silent since Trump announced the deployment of an American force off the coast of Venezuela.
Perhaps it's the silence before the storm and then we'd begin to understand that they had all this well planned out in advance.
Or
Perhaps its resignation to fate.
Either ways Maduro has to buckle up.
Help will come but he'll have to have his skin in the game first, like Iran did, and hold out for that help.
However, the US is quite close to home in this battle and can quite easily ramp up deployment of assets to counter whatever the Axis throws at them.
I just pray it'll involve a ground invasion.
If it does then I think Maduro stands a chance but the US will only send boots on ground after she must've bombed Venezuela back to stone age.
The "shock and awe" doctrine is not just to instil maximum damage but also to strike fear into the hearts of minds of men - military, paramilitary, militia, civilians - in case of a ground invasion.

I don't care whether they succeed or not.

I just want to see Russian supplied missiles slamming hard on targets in Washington and New York city.

The US thinks it's invincible because of its geographic location. No one in the Americas has missiles that can reach US mainland.

Let the games begin.
Only then would we know what the Axis has armed Maduro with.
And I quite understandably get your point and agree with you.
The US is sequestered between two great oceans to the east and west of it and a huge landmass to the north and south of it.
It's for that singular reason they've trotted down the world hawking "democracy" and "human rights" like gala to those who have conceded them and then overthrowing and killing anyone who dares to oppose them and their hegemonic agenda to subdue and subjugate peoples and resources for the profit of corporate America.
However, Venezuela is quite close to mainland USA.
And Gerans and the likes could really hit bases very close to home, and also their assets at sea.
Like I posited earlier, the war hawks at the Pentagon and the Deep State are angling for this war perhaps having gamed different scenarios and coming up with a decisive victory everytime for the US.
Any damage to the US and her assets by such weapons would just be a little inconvenience they could live with especially when they'll be laying their hands their most coveted assets, the world's largest crude oil deposits in addition to the huge oil & gas reserves in neighbouring Guyana they already control via ExxonMobil.
For me, though, part of objectives of this grand posturing is to:
1) get rid of Maduro and install a complaint puppet.
2) Secure their asset in Guyana, so by this sheer show of force, Maduro and his govt would be forced to allow ExxonMobil unrestricted access to exploring their assets in Guyana, that is of Maduro somehow survives this!
It'll be a typical "shock & awe" style invasion.
If Maduro survives the initial onslaughts then they can drag it out via a typical guerilla warfare.
Although the US military doctrine is built for these types of combat, yet, Afghanistan stands as a stack reminder that home and terrain advantage always stand for something, especially when the masses and military rally around their political leaders.
Maduro must've learnt a thing or two from Iran.
I wish I could sit here and declare, "Caracas is ready", like LordAdam16 did when Israel rattled Tehran and then ended up waving the white flag after just 12days!
The coming weeks would be quite interesting as I expect Israel to help keep Iran engaged while the US tries to do what she does best in Venezuela: battle smaller and quite incapable countries to try and keep their air of invincibility intact!

The usual tactics of a cowardly bully: carefully and painstakingly chosen fights, where her chances of getting beaten are reduced to the barest minimum so she appears to possess untold might before and after her conquest.
In this case they can't even pretend to use Guyana as Ukraine 2.0 to fight a proxy war.
The Pentagon has gamed the different scenarios, having realised that their is a real chance of a success, has gone all in under the guise of Maduro being the head of a drug cartel only the Pentagon is aware of.
But I bet Maduro won't go down without giving the cowards a run for their money: 4k invaders vs 4.5M militia.
If the US is disgraced here, like she was in Vietnam and, recently, by the Taliban after spending trillions of dollars she never had, just know the whistle has been blown on her demise. We can begin to countdown to the fall of the mighty - and what a fall it would be!
I am optimistic here that this (mis)adventure would dial up her end several notches higher than we have hoped for.
Venezuela could well be a slippery slope.

Melania Trump’s letter to Putin:


Misplaced priority, between natanyahu that's starving and killing babies and Putin that took children to safety, who should she be writing this letter to?

After writing to President Putin, she ran out ink, pen and paper to write to Satanyahu!
The West and hypocrisy are siamese twins, joined at the hip by Zionist Israel!
Putin takes children out of harm's way and gets a letter from our dear First Lady for his deliberate painstaking efforts at preserving their lives and it's not even one applauding his decision to ensure their safety and security, this is despite the fact that the man has got a legitimate axe to grind with Ukraine and the West at large.
Satanyahu kills children.
This ensures he can accomplish his devilish plot of ridding the land of Palestine of "Amalekites" and inheriting all of it.
How does our amiable First Lady's react - nothing, just silence! She's got no voice; she's got no ink; she's got no pen; she's got no paper to write on!
She's got ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to say or write or even do about the plight of children being killed in Palestine!

I just wonder why beating around the bush!
Russia has stated their demands coherently and clearly, devoid of any misrepresentation and/or misunderstanding.
What is the difficulty in acceding to those demands so this brutal war ends:
what is left of Ukraine now remains intact; Ukraine can bed her darling EU masters in peace; Russia gets to have her buffer zone between she and NATO; the US gets to focus squarely on the war she badly needs with China, so her demise is hastened!
They shouldn't be cowardly about the war and do a Ukraine 2.0 with Taiwan. Just face up to the dragon like a man with balls as big as continental US in a winner-takes-all duel!

But hold on.
I thought Trump announced that the bombing of Fordow was a huge success??
So, can we say the bombing was a success however 400kg of enriched Uranium somehow survived their 'successful' bombing?
This reminds me of an incredulous incident I happened to watch on TV in 2015/2016 when Dambazzau, a key figure in Buhari's government, had the effrontery to assault our collective senses by declaring that Buhari had defeated Boko Haram! The war had been won! What the army was still fighting then was for the peace!
I couldn't help but wonder: how can you win a war and then keep fighting the same war so you could win the peace!??
I'll never forget that experience in a hurry!
The army is still bogged down over there in the north "fighting for the peace" after defeating Boko Haram and wining the war against same in 2015!
Fast forward a decade later and I am here, again, wondering how 400kg of enriched Uranium survived their 'successful' bombing so much that they just have to be 're-bombed'!
Just when you thought you've heard it all...

LordAdam16:
Enriched uranium is a euphemism for weapons on the thread.

-Lord

Thanks for responding on my behalf.
Wanted to respond and clarify what I meant but then I noticed you already did.
Perhaps he didn't notice when we adopted the phrase enriched uranium on this thread to connote anything and everything delivered by Russia to Iran in terms of weapons.

Appleyard:
So Russia has delivered and Iran has activated the S-400 Triumf system near its Isfasan nuclear site? Well, while that is good news, it still needs a layered defense to leverage and maximize the 400km kill zone ratio the new Rus tech offers. The likes of BUK, Tor, Pantsir, and even the HQ-9 from China can form the cornerstone of the layered dragnet.

Could you please provide your link to the story of Russia's successful delivery of very enriched Uranium to Iran?
I know LordAdam16 mentioned it the other day but I thought it's just hearsay

How can you get a nobel peace prize when you almost se middle east on fire and continue to support ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza. He must be thinking the nobel prize panel are dumb like him.

You still don't get how the West works, do you?
Kissinger was, in 1972, negotiating to end the war in Vietnam and consequent withdrawal of US troops.
In the midst of all these he secretly ordered the bombings of Cambodia and North Vietnam, purportedly to pressure the authorities into signing a deal. Those bombings were responsible for hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths in both Cambodia and Vietnam.
Then in 1973 (the next year) he wins the Nobel Peace Prize!
What makes you think Trump can't bomb everyone in 2025 and win it too?
There's been precedent.
So Trump is very much welcome to covet the Peace Prize regardless of his genocidal actions in Gaza, US continued supplies of weapons to both Israel and Ukraine (again while pretending to support negotiations that should lead to a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine on the one hand, and between Hamas and Israel on the other hand) and unprovoked bombing of Iran's Nuclear Program.
I'm betting he'll win it!

I wonder myself

The first time I read Trials of Brother Jero, I dropped the book like a hot potato!
I couldn't relate.
My teenage mind rebelled!
I wondered if this was written for us at our level then or for a higher academic class/audience.
If it was written for a higher academic audience then whoever enlisted that book in our Junior Secondary Literature Scheme of work had to be summoned and queried by the authorities!
Since then I never bothered with Prof. Wole Soyinka's books.
I was taught in my undergraduate days that KISS (Keep It Short & Simple) is the key to communicating effectively with any audience on any subject matter.
Even as an adult I read some works and, while I may admire the writing style, I just sit and muse, wondering if the writer/author was trying to communicate or just busy massaging his potbelly-sized ego with a pen!
As an avid reader I really do not enjoy taking breaks between texts and consulting the dictionary just to be sure I am the same page with an author. It is burdensome.
Like Warren Buffett says, the only evidence you understand and have mastered any subject is your ability to explain it to the understanding of a six year old!
That being said, kudos to everyone who's mastered the skill to indulge themselves in some complex literary works. Bravo to you guys!

🎯⚡🇩🇪 ⚔️ Berlin’s new purge: AfD members BARRED from public jobs — reports

Germany is sliding back into authoritarianism — this time targeting right-wing dissent.

According to Spiegel, several German states are moving to ban AfD members from public service jobs — including teachers, police, judges, and civil servants. Applicants must now declare party affiliations, and the AfD is officially blacklisted.

📋 No crimes. No trials. Just being in the "wrong" party can kill your career.

Some states are even running secret-service background checks on public job applicants — even when there's no suspicion of wrongdoing.

AfD officials say members are being warned to “watch their words” to avoid losing their jobs — echoing the 1970s “Berufsverbot” era, when Germany blacklisted political dissidents from state employment.

🔒 Dissent is being criminalized. Being right-wing in Germany now means living under surveillance.

Beacons and bastions of democracy and free speech!
